We've talked a lot about the Red Wings' goaltending situation going into next year. The condensed version is that Petr Mrazek, the 23-year old Czech phenom making less than $750K against the cap and with one year left on his current deal (RFA) is the Red Wings' starting goaltender going forward. Jimmy Howard began last year with the job, but after injuring himself in January, Howard (age 31 with a cap hit just under $5.3M) never regained his form.
Kyle wrote about this a couple weeks ago, saying that Jimmy Howard's trade value isn't as high as his keep value.
